Jeremiah 8:7-10
“ Even the stork in the heavens Knows her appointed times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow Observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.“ How can you say,‘ We are wise, And the law of the Lord is with us’? Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord; So what wisdom do they have?Therefore I will give their wives to others, And their fields to those who will inherit them; Because from the least even to the greatest Everyone is given to covetousness; From the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely.

Proverbs 27:23-27
Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds;For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,The lambs will provide your clothing, And the goats the price of a field;You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants.

Proverbs 6:6-11
Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler,Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep—So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

Proverbs 11:5-6
The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
